Limestone is a hamlet (and census-designated place) in Cattaraugus County, New York, United States. As of the 2020 census, Limestone had a population of 358.

The former village lies in the southern part of the town of Carrollton and is 6 miles (10 km) north of the city of Bradford, Pennsylvania. The name is said to derive from the rapid deterioration of some excavated skeletons, which quickly became white dust upon exposure to air.
